Hey everyone! I didn't see a thread yet for this. Who's thinking about applying to Bates this fall/winter? If so please state if you will apply ED 1, ED 2, or RD. I am currently unsure. Good luck to all of you!

My son will be applying. He wants to revisit to make sure ED is the right choice.

If i don't submit my ACT score will this lessen my chances to get into Bates ?

@Entropy26 , it’s hard to say. Bates is known for being test-optional, so they care much more about grades than test scores. However, if you are part of a very competitive demographic, test scores might matter more. I’m not an AO though, so I can’t say with any certainty. If you don’t have a high ACT score, there is no point in submitting it, that’s for sure.

@Entropy26 if you look at the college website, you can see that Bates cares a lot about you as a person. I do not think that not sending a ACT score will lessen your chances at all.
